Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel without considering lubricating properties.Always select carbon steel specifically graded or known for its suitability with lubricants to avoid premature wear and friction.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to poor lubricant adhesion.Thoroughly clean and degrease the surface to ensure optimal lubricant film formation and retention.

Common Applications

  • Bearing surfaces
  • Sliding components
  • Lubricant reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to prevent sharp edges from causing injury.
  • Corrosion may occur if exposed to moisture without proper protective coatings or lubrication.
